How did you do all that....without a battery?

I was thinking of a solution until I read it worked without the battery... So, I have to ask - is it possessed?

no i had the battery in it. and when i couldn't shut it off i removed the battery and threw it across the room. so tonight i brought it home and went and tried to update or mess with it but i dont have a battery in it......

When you get a battery, plug it in and do a full wipe with BBSAK then re-install your OS.

When you find your battery...I would suggest wiping your phone. Since you don't have files to back up you will need to reset your info..date..time..etc. just like its a new phone.

so does this mean i will lose all my contact info and apps?

I don't know...

If it won't boot up...you won't be able to back it up. So you're probably starting over. Did you have google sync on you phone...if so...you can reinstall that and log in and re-sync your contacts. Sorry...otherwise. Good Luck...find your battery.
